[lace] Jeri's emails

To those missing out on Jeri's emails - perhaps think about switching to the Digest form of Arachne. Jeri's emails are always there. Thank you Jeri, for all your wonderful information that you give us on such a variety of Lace subjects. You are a "fount of knowledge" and it is always a delight

Re: [lace] Jeri's Narratives

Everyone, Yes I am phasing out my participation on Arachne.  I just will not fight the battles with aol and gmail.  What I've been doing is bcc-ing Devon, Sue Babbs and Lin Hudren (users of gmail) - all of whom complained they were not getting what I wrote.  Now, I have learned that Kim Davis

Re: [lace] Jeri's Narratives

I don't get Jeri's posts either. When someone mentions them, I have to go to the archives to read them unless someone else shares them. Isn't it something to do with AOL? I certainly appreciate any knowledge about lacemaking that others care to share. Liz Roberts in Missouri where it has

Re: [lace] Jeri's Narratives

​I have found over the past year that I do not get most of Jeri's postings. I have found out about them when someone else replies, or when Devon posts them, but do not get them when Jeri posts them. As I recall, there was some sort of issue with this for many people which was discussed a few

I have tried working without the pins in the ground, and find it hard to keep the right tension, but I am sure with practice it would be fine. It certainly would be much faster and cheaper. Karen On Wed, Dec 6, 2017 at 2:55 PM, Devon Thein wrote: > > Karen, have you tried

[lace] Buck’s pricking

In the Smithsonian Museum collection in Washington DC there is a well used Bucks pricking without holes pricked for the ground. It was used in the 1860s by a lacemaker who had made lace in Ipswich during the late 1780s and early 1790s. She used very fine threads for the simple Bucks edging. I

[lace] Point ground

Hi Annette I have found this discussion very interesting, especially only pricking alternate holes. I can see how this would work, I must try it. However, it still does not give proof that the point lace was made without any pins supporting the ground. Surely no lace worker would go to the

[lace] Re: Bucks Prickings

Were any of the prickings shown alongside lace made from them? I'm just curious because what is being described as pricking alternate pinholes, and second rows not being complete, could result in the pricking for a different ground to what we know as point ground? In one of the books (I can't
